Yes, Albo stuck his foot in his mouth on day one sending the idiotic MSM loopy:
Anthony Albanese was forced into an embarrassing apology for not knowing two key economic indicators central to the cost-of-living debate at the centre of the election battle
The gaffe was a major setback for the Opposition Leader, who will spend the next six weeks countering government attacks of economic incompetence and facing demands he prove to voters he can lead the next phase of the economic recovery.
Somebody asked me the unemployment rate the other day I couldn’t tell them even though I look at it every second day!. As John Howard said, “so what”.
What mattered more was this:
“Earlier today I made a mistake. I’m human. But when I make a mistake, I’ll fess up to it, and I’ll set about correcting that mistake. I won’t blame someone else, I’ll accept responsibility. That’s what leaders do.”
Precisely. Leaders steer into mistakes and fix them. It’s about due process and accountability not being perfect.
What you don’t want in a leader instead is denial, lies, corruption and psychopathy. Like this:
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says Alan Tudge is still “technically” a member of cabinet and despite stepping aside late last year, is free to return to the role when he is ready.
But Mr Morrison’s position appears to be at odds with Mr Tudge’s decision earlier this year to quit cabinet altogether.
Mr Tudge stood aside at the end of 2021 when Mr Morrison launched an investigation into claims from one of Mr Tudge’s former staffers that he was emotionally, and on one occasion physically, abusive.
…Mr Morrison said Mr Tudge was still “formally” the education minister because he still had a “warrant” from the Governor-General for the ministerial position.
Stuart Robert is currently acting education minister.
“I look forward to him returning because what he’s been doing in education has been very important,” Mr Morrison said.
The ABC has confirmed Ms Miller has reached a settlement with the government which will be more than $500,000.
Unaccounted behaviour, protecting the accused while pretending to probity, no open investigation, diffused responsibility for everyone, and public taxes defrauded into hush money. This is just one of twenty-odd similarly buried rape, sexual assault and abuse cases, and countless misappropriations to cover up nation-destroying mistakes.
We have seen this time and again under a Morrison regime that never learns and hence we get flood policy after fire policy disasters. We get RAT policy disasters after vaccine policy disasters. We get China policy failures after unplanned pivots. And we’ll get a direct return to falling living standards after no COVID lessons are learned.
If you prefer the Morrison approach then get yourself a psychiatrist.
